VisitAbout FlowBeacon
FlowBeacon is the professional-grade pool management app that brings chemistry math, inventory tracking, service logs, and smart dashboards together in one place. It is built for people who are actually standing next to a pool when they use it. Every reading you log becomes part of a living service history. Chemistry gauges show you what is off.

Features of FlowBeacon
Smart Chemistry Calculator
Stop guessing how much chlorine or pH adjuster to add. FlowBeacon calculates exact chemical doses based on your pool volume and current readings. The app tells you precisely how many ounces or grams of each chemical you need. This eliminates over-dosing and under-dosing, saving you money on chemicals and keeping your water perfectly balanced every time. No more complex math equations or wasted trips to the supply store.
Living Service History
Every water test result, chemical addition, and maintenance task you log becomes part of a permanent, searchable history. This is not just a logbook. It is a living record that shows trends over time. You can see how your pool chemistry has changed week over week, spot developing problems before they become emergencies, and prove your service quality to clients or health inspectors. The data works for you, not the other way around.
Real-Time Inventory Tracking
As you log chemical doses, FlowBeacon automatically adjusts your inventory counts. You always know exactly how much chlorine, acid, or algaecide you have left. The app sends reminders when stock runs low so you never show up to a job without the chemicals you need. For pool operators managing multiple pools, this feature alone saves hours of manual counting and prevents costly service delays.
Customizable Service Checklists
Build and save checklists for every type of service visit. Whether you are doing a weekly cleaning, a seasonal opening, or a commercial inspection, FlowBeacon walks you through every step. Check off tasks like brushing, skimming, backwashing, and pump inspections as you complete them. This ensures consistency across every visit, reduces the chance of missed steps, and provides a clear record of what was done for clients or compliance purposes.
Use Cases of FlowBeacon
DIY Homeowner Pool Maintenance
A homeowner with a backyard pool wants crystal clear water without becoming a chemistry expert. FlowBeacon simplifies the entire process. You test your water, enter the results into the app, and instantly get the exact chemical doses needed. The app tracks your maintenance history so you can see what worked last month. You log filter cleanings and pump maintenance, and the app reminds you when it is time to backwash again. No more guessing. No more green pools. Just clear water and more time to swim.
Commercial Pool Operator Daily Testing
A Certified Pool Operator managing a hotel or community pool needs to log water tests multiple times per day. FlowBeacon speeds up this process dramatically. Open the app, enter your readings, and the chemistry gauges immediately show you what is out of range. The dose calculator tells you exactly what to add. The app logs every test automatically, creating a compliant record for health department inspections. You can spot trends like a slow pH drift before it becomes a problem that closes the pool.
Multi-Pool Service Route Management
A pool service professional juggling a route of 20 or more residential clients needs efficiency. FlowBeacon handles multiple pools seamlessly. Each pool has its own service history, inventory, and checklist. You switch between pools in seconds. The app tracks which chemicals you used at each location and updates your inventory automatically. You can see at a glance which pools are due for service and which ones had issues last week. This eliminates paper logs, reduces errors, and lets you complete your route faster.
Seasonal Pool Opening and Closing
Getting a pool ready for summer or winterizing it requires a specific sequence of steps. FlowBeacon lets you create dedicated checklists for these seasonal tasks. Open the app, follow the checklist step by step, and log each action with notes and photos. The history shows exactly what you did last year, so you can replicate the successful process or adjust if something went wrong. This prevents costly mistakes like forgetting to lower the water level before a freeze or missing a critical chemical shock after opening.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does FlowBeacon calculate the correct chemical dose?
FlowBeacon uses your pool volume combined with your current test readings to calculate precise chemical doses. You enter your pool size once during setup. Then, each time you log a water test, the app compares your readings against ideal ranges. It calculates exactly how many ounces or grams of each chemical are needed to bring the water back into balance. This removes all the guesswork and complex math from pool care.
Can I use FlowBeacon for multiple pools at the same time?
Absolutely. FlowBeacon is designed to handle multiple pools seamlessly. You can add an unlimited number of pools to your account. Each pool has its own separate service history, chemical inventory, checklist, and maintenance log. Switching between pools takes just a tap. This makes it ideal for pool service professionals managing a full route or homeowners with both a main pool and a spa.
Does FlowBeacon work offline when I am at the pool?
Yes, FlowBeacon is built for people standing next to a pool. The app works offline, so you can log water tests, record chemical doses, and check off maintenance tasks even without an internet connection. Once you reconnect, all data syncs automatically to the cloud. This means you never lose a reading or miss a log entry, no matter where your service route takes you.
What types of pools does FlowBeacon support?
FlowBeacon supports all common pool types including residential in-ground and above-ground pools, commercial pools, hotel and resort pools, community center pools, and spas. The chemistry calculations work for chlorine, salt, bromine, and other sanitizer systems. The app adjusts for different pool volumes, surface types, and equipment configurations. Whether you maintain a small backyard pool or a large commercial facility, FlowBeacon adapts to your specific needs.
